Welcome to the digital era of biology (and to this modest blog I started in early 2005).To cure many diseases, like cancer or cystic fibrosis, we will need to target genes (mutations, for ex.), not organs! I am convinced that the future of replacement medicine (organ transplant) is genomics (the science of the human genome). In 10 years we will be replacing (modifying) genes; not organs!

"The World We Made": a story from 2050

"Our planet's future is too often described in terms of doom and despair.
However, there is another perspective that is not only positive, but
credible, too.

The World We Made describes a planet that
is green, fair, connected, and collaborative. Based on extensive
research, leading environmentalist Jonathon Porritt reveals how we can
achieve a genuinely sustainable world by 2050 if we act immediately.
Part history, part narrative, The World We Made describes the key
events, technological breakthroughs, and lifestyle revolutions that
could transform our planet, covering topics as wide-ranging as 3D
printing, personal genomics, urban agriculture, and the digital
landscape. The book's innovative ideas are brought to life with
futuristic photographs, infographics, and hand-drawn sketches, while an
extensive index provides the tools and tips needed to prepare for what's
ahead.

The World We Made is essential reading for anyone
interested in preserving our planet. All royalties will support the work
of Forum for the Future, one of the world's leading sustainable
development non-profits."

Who are you?

In March 2005, I've initiated a blog about bioethics. Organ replacement technologies and genomics are part of today's sustainable health economics. This is not medicine under ideological pressure ! ...
